-   GNU Smalltalk is an implementation that closely follows the
-Smalltalk-80 language as described in the book `Smalltalk-80: the
-Language and its Implementation' by Adele Goldberg and David Robson.
-
-   The Smalltalk programming language is an object oriented programming
-language.  This means, for one thing, that when programming you are
-thinking of not only the data that an object contains, but also of the
-operations available on that object.
-
-   In the Smalltalk language, everything is an object.  This includes
-numbers, executable procedures (methods), stack frames (called method
-contexts or block contexts), etc.  Each object is an "instance" of a
-"class".  A class can be thought of as a datatype and the set of
-functions that operate on that datatype.  An instance is a particular
-variable of that datatype. When you want to perform an operation on an
-object, you send it a "message", and the object performs an operation
-that corresponds to that message.
-
-   Unlike other Smalltalks (including Smalltalk-80), GNU Smalltalk
-emphasizes Smalltalk's rapid prototyping features rather than the
-graphical and easy-to-use nature of the programming environment.
